About the Curriculum
About the Curriculum
“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber
Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years
Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing!
Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years
Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.
On any given day the Toddler children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.
Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self confidence and emotional self regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.
Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years
Kindergarten is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.
The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.
Throughout the Kindergarten year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.
Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.
Morning
Kate is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Kate is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Kate has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Kate a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Kate and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Kate’s favourite book.
Morning
Daniel is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Daniel is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Daniel identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Daniel is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Daniel is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Daniel picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Daniel and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Daniel enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Daniel is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Daniel’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Holly is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Holly and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Holly is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Holly sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Holly takes part in the centre’s sports program. Holly loves sports. Sports helps Holly improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Holly is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Holly and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
Health and Nutrition
Health and Nutrition
Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.
Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi my name is Adeline, and I am the Centre Manager here at Rangeville Early Education Centre. I started working in early learning in 2014. I joined the team at Rangeville Early Education Centre in 2016. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care.
I believe that early childhood education plays a critical role in shaping a child's future, and I am proud to be a part of that process. I was particularly inspired by the idea of creating a safe and nurturing environment where children could learn and grow and where families could feel supported and valued.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with children of different ages, backgrounds, and abilities, and I found that each child brings their unique interests, strengths, and challenges to the learning environment. Therefore, it's essential to approach teaching with a child-centred approach, where each child's unique needs and abilities are taken into consideration. I have also learned that young children learn best through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences, so it's important to provide a safe and engaging environment that encourages exploration and discovery. Throughout my career, I have gained a wealth of experience in developing and implementing educational programs that are both engaging and age-appropriate. I strive to create an inclusive, diverse, and culturally responsive learning environment where children feel valued and respected. I also believe in providing opportunities for children to be actively involved in their learning and to follow their interests and passions.
Our centre provides a high-quality, safe and nurturing environment for children. We offer a wide range of activities designed to promote learning through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences. Our educators can offer advice on behaviour management, learning difficulties, and developmental milestones. In summary, attending a dedicated early childhood education and care centre offers children a range of benefits that are simply impossible to replicate at home.
We have dedicated staff members who are experienced and trained in early childhood education and care and understand young children's unique needs and abilities. Many of our team members come from multicultural backgrounds and are always eager to share their cultural experiences and learn from others. We have several team members who have been with us for up to 20 years, which speaks to the dedication and passion they bring to their work. Despite the diversity in our team, we all share a common goal: to provide the best possible care and education to the children in our centre.
As an early childhood educator, I believe that building strong relationships with families is essential for creating a positive and supportive learning environment for children. I strive to communicate regularly with families and to keep them informed about their child's progress and development. I try to address any issues or concerns as quickly and effectively as possible and to work collaboratively with families to find solutions. I offer workshops and seminars on topics such as child development, behaviour management, and literacy, and I provide families with resources such as books, articles, and websites to support their learning. Our team strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where families feel comfortable and supported.

If you're looking for a nurturing, family-friendly childcare center for your baby, this is the perfect place. The team is exceptional. My daughter started attending daycare at just 4 months old, and she loved it from day one. The staff, including Monica and Dana from the nursery and the manager, Lin, are incredibly caring. The environment is also very welcoming for parents, allowing me to come in every day to breastfeed my daughter. I'm grateful for their love and support for our family. Read more
